Sailors Will Take Demands To Congress Ready to Ask That Only Americans Man U. S. Ships if Shipping Board Fails to Meet Proposition Today 'Not Move for Unionism' Big Private Owners Deemed Stumbling Block; Strike Not Planned Immediately Unless an agreement is reached day between the United States Ship? ping Board and the American Steam-, ship Association on the one hand and the several marine unions on the other, an immediate appeal will be made to Congress to compel the Shipping Board, and, if possible, private ship owners, to give preference in employ? ment to American citizens on all ships flyin? the American flag. This statement was authorized last night by Andrew Furuseth, president of the International Seamen's Union; John H. Pruett, president of the Ameri? can Association of Masters, Mates and Pilots, and William H.

Brown, presi? dent of the National Marine Engineers' Benevolent Association. These leaders, with their executive boards, have beon in session here for days in an effort to secure such an agreement, w'll hold a final conference this morn? ing. Should the deadlock then continue ernngements will be made for an ap to Congress and the country. "This is not a question of union? said Mr. Furuseth in expressing the determination to appeal to Con? gress.

"It is a question of whether or not we are to have American sailors in American ships. If ships are good enough to put American dollars into, they are not too good to put American boys on. The country is spending hundreds of millions for ships. Amer? icans should man those ships. We don't ask that they be union men, so long as they are Americans.

The only preference we ask is that, as be? tween aliens, those with union cards be preferred." Conferences Futile R. B. Stevens, of the Shipping Board, cancelled his vacation to come to New York yesterday, in an effort to secure an agreement. He held several con? ferences during the day with repre? sentatives of the unions and the ship? ping interests, but reached no ment so far as could be learned last night. Beyond admitting that he is in connection with the discussion, Mr.

Stevens declined to talk. Should the conference to-day break up without an agreement being reached, it is probable that an attemi will be made to amend tho bill carrying an appropriation for the Shipping Board so as to compel recog? nition of the principle demanded by the unions. This bill, carrying ap? proximately $200,000,000 for the board, is now in conference. Just what form the amendment sought will take has not been decided upon. It may apply only to ships of the United States Shipping Board, or it may be made to apply to all ships now under the American flag.

According to a member of the confer? ence, the real difficulty in reaching an agreement for preference to Americans is due to some of the large private ship owners who wish to officer their ships with American citizens, but insfst on hiring their crews wherever they can get them the cheapest. The Shippii Board, it is understood, is inclined to agree to the proposition, as are some of the private owners. Union Men Confident Among the union leaders the impres? sion is general that the private owners, are opposed to giving preference to Americans hope, by declining the proposition, to force a strike, on the theory that with vessels of the United States Shipping Board involved, mem? bers of the naval reserve would be used as strike breakers. Because of this belief it is not prob? able that any strike will be ordered until after Congress has had an op? portunity to act. In the meantime such private ship owners as are in? clined to give Americans the prefer? ence will probably have an opportunity Peace and Plenty Who couldn't feel glorious this Fourth!

Con? sequently they feel confident of their position. Fear of Bombs Halts Plan for Anti-Red Rally Continued from Fage 1 to the property was such that they re? fuse to take any further chances. "The American Russian Committee for the Relief and Salvation of Russia have been compelled to cancel the meeting for Independence since they are denied sufficient police pro? tection in exercising the right to pub? lic meeting guaranteed by the Con? stitution and laws of the state." Precautions have been taken by Fed? eral, state and local authorities to pre? vent any Red demonstrations to-mor? row. Among these are: Federal secret service "agents have been detailed to watch the movements i of "direct action" radicals. Special guai-ds are to be placed on duty about government property.

Among the buildings the police are guarding against possible Red bomb outrages are St. Patrick's Cathedral, St. Thomas's Church and other places of public worship. Among the homes at which plain clothes men are on watch are manyj Fifth Avenue mansions, among them former Senator Clark's, Henry C. Frick's Cornelius Vanderbilt's W.

Private Homes Guarded Policemen were detailed yesterday to guard the homes of public officials and persons who have been denounced by radicals. This guard will be kept up until Sunday. A miniature Bolshevik riot occurred yesterday at the plant of Bliss 17 Adams Street, Brooklyn. A man who said he was faul Krevitz, 417 East Seventeenth Street, Brooklyn, recently from Moscow, was arrested on a charge of having threatened to blow up the plant.

After being discharged, it was alleged, the man returned in a taxicab and started to fight, calling.to his for? mer workers, "Comrades, conic and help mo." None of the workers showed any in? cubation to put the plant under rule, and the man was locked up. "Doggone it," said the Bolshevik, "these. Americans are hard to reform!" Find Drawings of Bombs Detectives were sent to the East Sev? enteenth Street address, where the man said he lived with his wife and six children. He also boasted that he had a private machine shop of his own somewhere in the city. No sign of his family could be found I at the house, where it was said that tho man had been living alone for months.

Detectives of the bomb squad i sny they found working drawings of bombs there similar to those which were sent through the mails in wooden tubes, and drawing of a clock- work device. They also discovered a box marked potassium permanganate. This sub- i stance, Inspector Eagan, of the Bureau i of Combustibles, said, may have been used in the manufacture of explosives. A receipt found in the room showed that Krevitz bought his pistol at aj pawnshop in Jersey City. There also was a box of cartridges, one of which I had been used, and a letter from some i fraternal organization, of which the police had never heard.

In Krevitz's pocket the police found "red" membership card in the Rus- sian branch of the New York State Socialist Party. This branch recently was expelled from the party. "Idealistic Radicals" Deny Part in Bomb Plot Workers' Defence Union Says It Seeks Economic Change, but Not by Bloodshed Radicals yesterday issued a state? ment in which they resented sugges- tions that they were implicated in any projected bomb outrages. The state? ment, given out by the Workers' De? fence Union, 7 East Fifteenth Street, which claims to represent more than 200 labor unions, says: "Although the combined efforts of the United States Secret Service and pri? vate detective agencies have not pro? duced a scintilla of evidence to show that the bombs of April 29 and the explosions of June 2 can be traced to the radical or labor movement, the press and the government investigators persist in their original assumption that the terror emanates from radical and labor sources. Intimations have been repeatedly made by officials, bo- called patriotic organizations and the press that further terroization may be expected.

Indeed, these intimations in- elude specific references to July 4 as the day when labor will resort to the assassin's trade. "We assert that the assumption is a malicious libel against American labor i and especially against the idealistic vanguard known as the radicals. Vio- lence is alien to the radical movement, and those who strive to brand the pro- gressive elements of. this country as terrorists do so with the malicious in? tent of nullifying their efforts to estab? lish a more equituble economic ar? rangement."

Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, July rail-! road operating expenses are now $5, 000,000 a day higher than in the period prior to government operation is shown by reports made public to-night on the May operating results of the large roads of the country. For the first- five months of 1919 the average daily expenses for labor nnd materials have been $11,480,000, as compared with $6,410.000 in the three-year test period (1915-17) upon1 which the government war guarantee of earnings is bused. This is an ad? vance of 79 per cent, and is an annual increased rate of expenses of 000. That a readjustment of freight rates to meet the new level of costs for i labor and materials will be recom- mended by the Director General to the President on his return to Wash- ington is now believed to be inevita- ble. How much the increase in rates will be, and what commodities will be affected, will be determined- it is un? derstood, through conferences between the Railroad Administration and the Interstate Commerce Commission.

The rate advance will become effective, it is believed, before the movement of the bumper cfops reaches its height in the fall, ih order that the govern? ment may benefit from the added rev? enues during the remaining months of Federal control of the carriers. The May deficit, as shown by a pre? liminary summary of returns to the Interstate Commerce Commission, will be close to $39,000,000. Operating revenues for May were $407,942,000, an increase of 9.3 over 1918; operating expenses were $350, 861,000, an increase of 24 per cent, and the operating income after taxes was $38.530,000, a loss of 46.4 per cent. The standard return, or May average net operating income, in the three-year i test period is $77,426,000. This leaves a government deficit for the month of 838,896,000.

May freight traffic, while 13.5 per cent under the record figure for May, 1918, is only 1-3 of 1 per cent below the test period average for the month. For the first five months of the year the net operating income is I as compared with earned in the same months in the test period, leaving $213,195,000 to be made up by the government on its guarantee, i The five months' freight and passen- ger traffic is about 5 per cent in ex? cess of the same months in the test period, but, due largely to the higher rates, the operating revenues for five months are $1,923,000,000, as compared i with $1,363,000,000 in the test period, a gain of $560,000,000, or 41 per cent, The live months' operating expenses are $1,728,000,000, as compared with $968,000,000 in the test period, an in? crease of $760,000,000, or 79 per cent. That operating expenses are now on an even keel at the high level reached several months ago, after the last of the big wage advances, is believed by railroad operating men to be indicated by average daily expenses for the first live months of the year. Advances in freight and passenger rates since the end of the test period have produced additional revenues, ac? cording to railroad estimates, of $1,200,000,000 a year, leaving $500,000, 000 of the higher operating costs to be met by further readjustments in the rate structure. Wilson to Take Up Railroad Problems Soon After Ariival WASHINGTON, July facing the railroad administration will be among; the first business laid before President Wilson on his return to Washington.

Director General Hines plans to confer with the President next week, but declined to-day to indi? cate what matters would be discussed, other than to Bay he had no specific recommendations to make. It is believed, however, that in? creased freight rates will be the most I important topic. Operating expenses have increased at a much faster ratio than operating income, and gradually increasing business has not been suffi cient to make up the deficit. With crop movements starting, it Is ex- pected that the next few weeks will determine whether an increas Is to be made. Administration officials believe a' decision will be possible by Sept.

1, perhaps earlier. Traffic experts are inclined to think an advance in rates will reduce business. Plans for return of the roads to cor? porate control constitute another sub? ject likely to be taken up at the con- I ference between Mr. Illnes and the President. Suggestions for a return of tho roads to the direction of the I owning companies have been mado by railroad officials, who argue that time should be given to reorganize' their staffs before December 31, the date set by President Wilson when Federal con? trol is be relinquished.

Mr. Hines stated positively to-day that no plans were being made for a return of the roads to corporate con? trol in the immediate future, but that uuch a return might be allowed late the year, perhaps December.

Wire Strike Is Called Off bv Konenkaiftp Walkout of Telegraphers, Which Began June 11, Comes to an End; No Concessions to Wrorkers Leader Blames Burleson to Receive the Sup? port Expected Is Given as Reason for His Action CHICAGO, July strike of telegraphers, which began June 11, was called off at noon to-day by S. J. Konenkamp, president of the Commer? cial Telegraphers' Union of America. President Konenkamp, who returned from Washington this morning, called off the strike after he had conferred with other officials of the Union. Konenkamp Issues Statement A statement addressed to the mem? bers of the organization by President Konenkamp read in part: "When the present strike was de? clared against the telegraph companies under control of the wire administra? tion it was understood that it would not be made an endurance contest.

The strike was to be the final protest against the unfair and unjust treat? ment we have received since August, 1918, at the hands of the wire adminis? tration. "We realized that in order to make this protest effective it would be necessary to make the strike sufficiently acute to compel action. This does not seem possible now either through our efforts or the effort of others we relied upon to help us. This is the view taken by many who are vitally interested in the success of the strike, and they agree with me that to submit tho proposition to a vote of the membership would re? sult in serious delay and disorganiza? tion. Acting upon this conclusion, and with a view to serving your best in? terests, I nereby declare the strike at an end, and you are instructed to work without further delay.

You have made a gallant struggle for your rights as American workingmen and women. Unfair Methods Charged "You have sought a minimum of the things which the present government administration say3 all workers should enjoy. You have not only been denied these rights, but governmental agen? cies have been used to prevent you getting them by exercising your own economic strength. "We find that sending telegrams from city to city in suit cases is now permissible, although Western Union officials were arrested for doing so a year ago. We find that telegrams aro being mailed without restriction.

The telegraph officials say the government is footing the strike losses, thereby adding this factor to our opposing forces. "We are doubly unfortunate in hav? ing to deal with a governmental rep? resentative in the person of Mr. Burl? eson, who will yield no concession to the workers unless it is forced from him, and in not being able to muster enough strength within our own ranks to compel him to give us a square deal. Despite all of his high sound? ing words, the fact remains that Burleson has fought us and aided the telegraph companies at'every turn, and his party must take the blame. Renewed Struggle Predicted "Our struggle of ever half a century for the right to organize and to bar? gain collectively will have to be con? tinued.

The Western Union propa? ganda of the past year prompted by its paid agents has fooled too many of our co-workers into believing that there is an easier way of securing justice than has been found by organ? ized labor through years of experi? ence. The Postal Telegraph officials declined to furnish any tangible evi? dence that their labor policy would be different from what it has been in the past years. This is a deep disappoint? ment to many who are really and truly anxious to establish reciprocal rela? tions between that company and the union telegraph workers of the United States and Canada. "The future, however, is not without hope. The principles for which we contend are going to prevail in the end.

They must prevail because they are right. The union will continue its fight for the elemental rights of in? dustrial freedom. We urge you as a loyal member to continue to do your part. "The C. T.

U. A. will not surrender. Some reorganization of the union may bw necessary but our banner flung to tho breeze in 1902 will never bo furled." Coffee Price Expected To Continue Going Up Blight of Brazil Crop and For? eign Buying Said to Have Caused Advance Experienced coffee merchants and others said yesterday the price of cof? fee has not reached its highest level, and consumers soon might find them? selves regarding it as a luxury. Officials of Arbuckle Brothers said r.

blight in Brazil, destroying vast cof? fee fields, and delayed shipments are responsible for the high prices. No estimate as to further advances were made, as' it was explained that con? ditions are too uncertain. One dealer declared buyers in Eng? land and France have marie large pur? chases in Brazil, which has been the leading source of coffee for America, Germany and Austria also will become large buyers, it was said, stimulating competition and contributing to a higher price. Present retail prices of coffee range from 45 to 55 cents a pound. This is several cents higher than quotations on coffee during the Civil War.

The retail price to-day in coffee-growing ccuntries is ten cents a pound. Col. Roosevelt Out For Assembly From Second District Announcement Made After Conference of Friends at Oyster Bay; Mass Meeting Scheduled for Saturday Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roose? velt made his formal entrance into politics yesterday when he announced that he would bo a candidate for the Republican nomination for assembly in the Second Assembly District, Nas? sau County, which embraces the town? ships of Oyster Bay and North Hemp stead. The announcement followed a con? ference of Oyster Bay Republican leaders which took place in the Nassau County Court House. None of the leaders from North Hempstead ac? cepted' the invitation of the Oyster Bay men to attend the conference, Their absence, it was explained, was due to belief that their fellow towns? man, Franklin A.

Coles, "the present member of assembly from the district, should be renominated. That this situation will be Ironed out within tho next couple of week3j was the belief of those who the conference yesterday, and Colonel! Roosevelt made it plain he would not be a candidate unless Assemblyman Coles withdrew. "I shall not be a candidate if it i means a primary fight," said Colonel Rooseveit. Coles Former District Attorney Assemblyman Coles, who has served two terms in the lower house of the Legislature, served a term as District Attorney prior to his election to the Legislature. The Oyster Bay men, in the belief that Assemblyman Coles and his sup- porters in North Hempstead will fol? low suit, have called a meeting of local Republicans to be held Saturday in Oyster Bay, at which the Roosevelt candidacy will be indorsed.

Should the North Hempstead Repub- licans follow the lead of their parti? sans in Oyster Bay, it will mean the election of Colonel Roosevelt to the Assembly, as the district is over? whelmingly Republican. The late Col? onel Roosevelt was first elected to pub lie office in 1882, when the old Twenty-first Assembly District of Manhattan, now the fifteenth, sent him to the Assembly. New Yorkers Disappointed Yesterday's announcement was a disappointment to some New York Re? publican leaders who wanted Colonel Roosevelt to run for the Presidency of the Board of Aldermen. They believed that with his war record and with the reaction of local Democrats to the Hy lan administration, he would have little trouble in overcoming the normal Dem? ocratic majority in greater New York. On Colonel Roosevelt's return from France he was first spoken of as a pos? sible candidate for the Assembly from his father's old district, in which he has a home, and which is represented by Assemblyman Joseph Steinberg.

Assemblyman Steinberg was willing to withdraw in Colonel Roosevelt's favor, and local leaders agreed to get behind Mr. Steinberg for the Republican nom? ination for City Judge. Colonel Roosevelt wa3 at first will? ing to take up his legal residence in New York City, but, on advice of some of his fatheiVs friends and political associates at Oyster Bay, he decided to make Sagamore Hill his domicile. Colonel Wounded at Cantigny Colonel Roosevelt is thirty-one years old. Long before the United States entered the war he qualified a3 a major of infantry after an intensive trainingj at the Plattsburg camp.

He and his three brothers were among the first Americans to leave for France, and he was gassed and wounded at Cantigny about the same time his brother Quen- tin was shot down in an aerial battle with four Hun planes, and another brother, Captain Archibald Roosevelt, was seriously wounded. Since his return to the United States the Colonel has taken an active part in organizing the American Legion, a national body composed solely of re- turned soldiers and sailors and ma- He was offered the presidency of the association, but declined it. He married, nine years ago, Miss Eleanor Butler Alexander. They have three children. General Burnham Home Major General William H.

Burn ham, who returned yesterday on board the America of the Royal Italian Mail Line from Genoa, told of his exper? iences in Greece while a member of tho Allied Military Commission. He stated that Premier Venizelos held the upper hand; that all pro-German sentiment had long ago become dis? sipated, and that all military officers who exhibited pro-German tendencies were tried by court-martial, and were receiving sentences of fifteen to twenty years. General Burnham commanded the 82d Division in the Argonne until the end of October, when he was detailed to duty in Greece. Other passengers included several Instructors in the A. E.

University at Beaune and several Y. M. C. A. secretaries who had Been service with the Italians.
